Background info on this artwork: I woke up early on day two of our trip to the disarming sound of a change in the water soundtrack. I detected a shift. I stayed in my tent for a while, not wanting to see what that change looked like. Running a small, free-flowing stream carries a fundamental risk -- losing your flow. I eventually coaxed myself out with the promise of coffee either way, and did in fact observe a smaller river. But there was still a line through it. I made my coffee, grabbed my art stuff, and wandered off. I found a small varnished wall and focused my thoughts on creating something rather than how the river may or may not be drying up.
